nabqr: Python package for improving probabilistic forecasts

Machine Learning 2025-01-30 v1 Applications Computation

Abstract

We introduce the open-source Python package NABQR: Neural Adaptive Basis for (time-adaptive) Quantile Regression that provides reliable probabilistic forecasts. NABQR corrects ensembles (scenarios) with LSTM networks and then applies time-adaptive quantile regression to the corrected ensembles to obtain improved and more reliable forecasts. With the suggested package, accuracy improvements of up to 40% in mean absolute terms can be achieved in day-ahead forecasting of onshore and offshore wind power production in Denmark.
